2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a core plate such as a steel plate to which a sheet made of a mixture of asbestos and an elastomer is adhered has been widely used for the above-mentioned applications. However, since asbestos is harmful to the human body, its use is being restricted, and the use of aramid fiber as a substitute for asbestos is being studied.

However, in both asbestos and aramid fibers, the use of fibers has a drawback in that a large number of open pores remain in the sheet, so that sufficient sealing properties cannot be obtained. Further, if the amount of elastomer is increased to improve the sealing property, the heat resistance deteriorates, and it can no longer be used as a gasket for a cylinder head or the like. On the other hand, instead of using an adhesive such as an elastomer or resin, to improve the adhesion, use a mesh-shaped core plate or what is called a hook plate, and press-fit graphite instead of the mixture of fiber and elastomer. Used gasket. This graphite pressure-bonded gasket has no open pores, has an extremely good sealing property even when the contact surface pressure is low, and has an excellent heat resistance because it contains no elastomer or the like. However, since the graphite sheet layer is fragile and has low mechanical strength, it is easily scratched, and if it is immersed in water, oil, etc. for a long time, the sheet end portion will collapse.

In the present invention, as the metal plate, SPCC material or SUS material which has been conventionally used is used, and the thickness and shape are not particularly limited. As the raw material expanded graphite, one obtained by a known method is used, and a higher expansion coefficient is preferable in terms of strength, but there is no particular limitation. The elastomer compounded with the expanded graphite is a rubber such as natural rubber, SBR, NBR, CR, and fluorine rubber, and is added with sulfur or the like so that the elongation rate becomes 100% or more when a sheet made of a single rubber is thermocompression molded. It is preferable to add a vulcanization accelerator such as a vulcanizing agent and thiuram. If the amount of the composite elastomer is less than 5% by weight, the absolute amount of the binder that bonds the expanded graphite particles is insufficient, so that the mechanical strength is insufficiently improved, and the expanded graphite particles, especially in the direction perpendicular to the sheet. It is not possible to prevent the infiltration of water or oil from the end face cut into the edges. On the other hand, when the amount of the elastomer exceeds 30% by weight, the heat resistance becomes equal to that of the conventional material composed of a mixture of asbestos or aramid fiber and the elastomer. The bulk density of expanded graphite raw material is originally about 0.02 g /
Since it is extremely low (cm 3 or less), it is formed into a high-density sheet by pressure molding, but the bulk density of this sheet must be 0.7 g / cm 3 or more from the viewpoint of sealability and mechanical strength. is there.

The composite of the elastomer with the expanded graphite is prepared by immersing the expanded graphite in a solution or latex (emulsion of rubber) in which the elastomer is dissolved in an organic solvent, or by impregnating the expanded graphite with the elastomer solution or the like and drying it. And the like. Next, this elastomer-containing expanded graphite is press-molded on one side or both sides of a metal plate into a sheet by using a press or a roll to increase the sheet density and at the same time to be fixed to the metal plate. When the elastomer is vulcanized or cured at the same time as the above-mentioned molding, the molding is carried out while heating at about 150 ° C., for example. However, vulcanization or curing may be performed in a separate step by heating after molding. In addition, an adhesive such as an elastomer or a resin may be applied to the metal plate in advance in order to strengthen the adhesion between the metal plate and the sheet.
